When I was about 5 years old another kid told me about Antarctica and that it and the South Pole were covered with ice. I was sure he was lying because I knew that "the birds" flew south, where it was warmer, for the winter. (The same kid told me about sex, but none of that turned out to be true).
A bit later Admiral Byrd became one of my heros.
